Presented by Cassandra Brown - Jireh Mobile

Cassandra BrownWhen opportunity knocks, are you hearing the knock? Smart phones, tablets, PDA's and other high-tech gadgets increase personal and professional productivity. Employees connect to the office from a home computer with secure VPN (virtual private networking) technology. Some sales people use PDAs, mobile computers and other high-tech devices to submit work orders and contact business associates. Sales transactions can even be instantly completed with the use of convenient devices like the Square--a mobile credit card reader just about 1 inch long that connects to most mobile devices. Business professionals and college students are two consumer groups that use high-tech gadgets to finish projects and collaborate with others through mobile technologies while at home, in the dorm or at the office. This interactive work shop will update you to the newest apps, functions that are useful for entrepreneurs, and it will help attendees to identify which gadget is best for their needs.
